Setting up Amicus with Office365 and MFA

What is MFA?

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an authentication process that requires a user to provide a second form of identification in addition to their password.

An App Password is required to give Amicus Attorney permission to access your Office 365 account if you have enabled Multi-factor Authentication (MFA). You are required to update your Firm Settings, as well as your Preferences to use the Exchange link in the Contact & Calendar synchronization and in the Email Integration.
